Three of the seven people who stayed on the ninth floor of the Metropole Hotel died from severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, including the 64-year-old mainland professor. Pi Nation Senate finds new uses for Bush's tax cut The Senate voted Friday to take SI 00 billion over the next 10 years from President Bush's proposed new tax cuts to pay for the war with Iraq. "'We cannot' blithely go along as if this were a time for business as usual," said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis. The 52-47 vote on Feingold's amendment to a budget resolution before the Senate was the first setback Bush has encountered in seeking new tax cuts totaling S726 billion over the next decade. The package includes elimination of the taxes that investors pay on dividends. ' The House earlier Friday passed a S2.2 trillion budget that kept Bush's tax proposals intact.

The protesters ended up in the quad and an impromptu open mic ensued. Anyone who wanted to had the opportunity to present their point of view, regardless of their feelings on the conflict with Iraq. Potter told NetXNews that one of the major goals of the march was to show people that there is dissent in Americans and that "there are people who do-not think this war is morally justifiable." Sergeant Daniel Garcia of the ROTC was among those who took advantage of the open mic. Potter said that he respectfully voiced his opinion that citizens should support the war and the troops fighting in Iraq. Sergeant Garcia told audience members that he supported the protesters freedom of expression because that was the very thing America is fighting for in Iraq. Brad- ford said in response to his address "it's perfectly possible to support the troops and wish them well without supporting the war." Bradford spoke to students about the importance of getting all the facts and reading between the lines. "As students, as academics, make sure you know what those policies are and make sure that you agree with them and make sure that you don't take the simple platitudes that come along with them." Bradford said, "We acknowledge that you couldn't have political dissent in Iraq and that is what makes America a better place to live." He went on to say that Sergeant Garcia's speech really toned the discussion down. However, shortly after Sergeant Garcia spoke to students, eggs were thrown at students in the quad. At press time, the perpetrators had not yet been identified. None of the protestors responded with hostility towards those throwing the eggs, but students on both sides of the issue were embarrassed by the situation.
